Review – The Manor, Issue 7

The Manor, Issue 7 is a short publication dedicated to the OSR (Old School) branch of fantasy roleplaying.  This issue contains the following articles:

• Boltswitch’s Mobile Potion Emporium, a traveling seller of potions, all done through prose which is an interesting choice.
• Skinwalker, a trickster/minor shapeshifter class based on the Native American view of Coyote.  Short and direct, my have a place in some campaigns.
• Mirror, Mirror, a selection of rather potent magical mirrors.  While I would not use them as written, good inspiration.
• Trouble in the Well, a short adventure for when you need something to fill time between largest adventures which is always useful.
• Horrid Caves, a longer adventure exploring a cave network containing things from the distant past and ancient magics.  I had great fun running this adventure for my Pathfinder group.
• Lastly, a Mindflayer Haiku and picture wraps this issue up, disturbing but amusing.

All in all, quite fun and full of tools for OSR (or other fantasy) games.
